It does, but if you can get a setup which is more naturally balanced it will take the load off of the EBD system and feel more natural to drive.

The ideal for a fwd car is to have higher friction pads on the front and lower on the back, i.e.: DS2500 front, DS-Performance rear.
On a rwd or 4wd you want the same front & rear.

The V6 GT uses the same calipers as the 2004-on GTA.
